C G C Am
He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four,
F G C
He fights with missiles and with spears.
F G C Am
He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen,
F G
Been a soldier for a thousand years.
C G C Am
He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain,
F G C
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew.
F G
And he knows he shouldn't kill,
C Am
And he knows he always will,
F G
Kill you for me my friend and me for you.
C G
And he's fighting for Canada,
C Am
He's fighting for France,
F C
He's fighting for the USA,
F G
And he's fighting for the Russians,
C Am
And he's fighting for Japan,
F G
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way.
C G
And he's fighting for Democracy,
C Am
He's fighting for the Reds,
F G
He says it's for the peace of all.
F G
He's the one who must decide,
C Am
Who's to live and who's to die,
F G
And he never sees the writing on the wall.
C G
But without him,How would Hitler
C Am
have condemned him at Dachau?
F G
Without him Caesar would have stood alone,
C G
He's the one who gives his body
C Am
As a weapon of the war,
F G
And without him all this killing can't go on.
C G C Am
He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame,
F G
His orders come from far away no more,
C G C Am
They come from here and there and you and me,
C Am
And brothers can't you see,
F G
This is not the way we put the end to war.

Hi: I don't think these are the chords Buffy Sainte Marie is using at least for the Yotube video (sound only with a pic) that I listened to. Is she capoed perhaps? When I try to pay along with the Youtube recording, it sounds awful.

Actually, as far as I can tell, first of all, it should have a capo on first fret. The chord progression then becomes:
C - D - G - Em
C - D - G
C - D - G - Em
C - Am - D
